Surprise, surprise, CloudOn has just opened a fresh can of tablet-friendly Office and is getting ready to deliver it outside of the US, UK and Canada for the first time in its relatively short history. The cloud-based service announced it's now launching its iOS and Android applications in 16 more countries, making it a total of 19 with the addition of the aforementioned trio. Some of the lucky nations include: Spain, Germany, France, Ireland, Italy, Israel as well as the Netherlands -- and, in case you had any concerns, the app is keeping its free-of-charge status, so no need to worry. In addition to the beefy global expansion, CloudOn also released a few productivity-focused tidbits, giving users the ability to open links straight from the browser, copy and paste between the different built-in apps, plus a drag-and-drop feature to move around files and folders within the application -- unfortunately, this last one's only available to those with a Cupertino device (at least for the time being). All that's left to do now is grab yourself a copy from one of the links below, and be sure to check the presser after the break to see if your country made the cut.

CloudOn Brings its Ultimate Productivity Workspace to the Global Market, Launches in 16 Countries

CloudOn, the mobile solution for creating, editing, saving and sharing Microsoft Office and Adobe documents, launches throughout Western Europe and Israel

PALO ALTO, Calif. – June 6, 2012 – In response to enormous demand, CloudOn is releasing its free productivity app for iPad and Android tablets today in today in Germany, France, Spain, Portugal, Ireland, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Belgium, Netherlands, Luxemburg, Austria, Italy, Switzerland, Iceland and Israel. The cloud-based app, which delivers full Microsoft Office capabilities and Adobe Reader, along with Dropbox, Box and Google Drive integration, transforms the iPad and Android tablets into a one-stop-shop for mobile productivity, capable of creating, editing, saving and sharing Office and Adobe documents while on the go.

In early January, CloudOn launched on iOS and quickly became the no. 1 Free App and the no. 1 Productivity App for iPad in the U.S. Apple App Store. The app has since launched for both iOS and Android in the U.S., UK and Canada, receiving high critical acclaim, outstanding user reviews, and generating huge demand for the productivity app across the globe.

How it works:

The service operates by using the power of the cloud to connect to Microsoft Office software on CloudOn's servers; this allows users to create and access Microsoft Office documents the way they are used to, using the exact same look and functionality. Users can track changes in Word, manipulate pivot tables in Excel and view PowerPoint slideshows in full presentation mode right from an iPad, and access them at anytime in their Dropbox, Box or Google Drive account.

CloudOn also provides Adobe Reader to view PDFs - everything from simple forms to complex 3-D documents - and a universal viewer for any file, ranging from raw Photoshop images to everyday image files, including: PNG, JPEG and GIF.

The app has a native, user-friendly interface fully optimized for the iPad and Android Ice Cream Sandwich and Honeycomb tablets, 3.1 or higher. CloudOn also comes with a host of other features designed to enhance mobile productivity, including:

In-app email integration to send emails along with attachments with a single tap
Automatic document saving and storage in Dropbox, Box or Google Drive
Quick and easy 2-step in-app registration process
Anytime mobile access even in low-bandwidth conditions
CloudOn is also announcing some exciting new productivity features that will be launching in the US, UK and Canada, as well as throughout Western Europe and Israel. The new features allow users to:
Create and send direct links to files for collaboration
Copy and paste text between email, browser other local apps, and Microsoft Office
Use Drag & Drop functionality to easily move files & folders (currently iOS only, coming to Android soon)
Open web links directly in the native browser
